Switching On Terminal Server - Black Box 37687 User Manual

Switching on Terminal Server

The Terminal Server power supply accepts input voltages in the range 110 to 240V AC,
allowing it to be used world-wide. The 102/104 Terminal Server has an external power supply
unit.
After you connect your LAN interface, you can power up the unit. The green power indicator
at the side (or front for rack and 102/104 units) should be lit. If the unit fails to power up with
the green power indicator lit, disconnect the unit and contact your dealer for help.
The Terminal Server firmware may be compressed, and this takes a short time to
decompress before running.
During this phase the network LEDs will light alternately to indicate that decompression is in
progress.
The green Ethernet indicators show the active connections. It remains lit and blinks when
LAN traffic is active.
If your unit has 10BASE-T, 10BASE2 and AUI connectors, then the green ethernet indicators
show the active connection. The indicators remain lit and blink when LAN traffic is active.
If you have an Rack Terminal Server unit with 10/100BASE-T, then the Ethernet indicators
will light green to indicate either 10Mbit or 100Mbit link, and the Activity light flickers to
indicate LAN traffic.
If you have a Terminal Server or 102/104 Terminal Server with 10/100BASE-T, then the
Ethernet will light green to indicate a 100Mbit link, and orange to indicate a 10Mbit link. The
LED will flicker to show LAN traffic.
You are now ready to begin communicating with your Terminal Server. You can connect to
the unit in different ways: via a terminal or PC on port 1, or using ARP or BOOTP. Using ARP
is the preferred method for both Windows ® and Unix, however a terminal or PC attached to
port 1 is often used.
BOOTP setup is for Unix users only. Choose the appropriate method for your application.
Third party BOOTP packages are available for Windows ®
